Galway survive Sligo scare

DON’T believe everything you read, starting with this scoreline. There weren’t four points between these teams yesterday. Hell, there weren’t even four inches.

With 70 minutes played, Sligo were neck and neck with a Galway side that had played football four divisions above them all spring and it was the home team tightening the noose.

It was a scenario no-one could have foreseen half an hour into the tie when the favourites were eight points to two up and cruising towards a result akin to Mayo’s against Roscommon last week.
